Jason Ash named PacificHealth president and CEO

MATAWAN, N.J. PacificHealth Laboratories on Thursday named Jason Ash as the company’s president and chief operating officer, as well as a member of the company’s board, effective Jan. 3.

Ash assumes the role of president from Portman, who will continue to serve as chief executive officer, chief scientific officer and chairman.

“Jason brings a great deal of knowledge and experience in the performance beverage arena, and actually led Cadbury’s negotiations leading to their acquisition of the Accelerade and Endurox trade marks and intellectual property,” Portman stated. “Jason’s existing knowledge of our company and our growth objectives will enable him to hit the ground running and provides an excellent opportunity for PacificHealth to rapidly expand upon our existing growth strategy.”

Ash also assumes chief operating officer duties currently held by Stephen Kuchen, who will continue to serve as chief financial officer, treasurer, secretary and director.

Ash brings a decade worth of experience in commercial brand management and consumer marketing to PacificHealth, most recently serving as general manager and vice president of Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages Sports in the energy and water category unit.
